This invention relates to shoe-shining stand equipment and has for'its' object to described and claimed; andfin order that it maybe fully understood, referenceis to be had; to thef 'acc'ompanying. drawings, in.

In the said drawings where like reference characters identify corresponding parts in all of the figures, 1 indicates a stand of rectangular outline and of suitablelheight on which is mounted a chair 2 for occupancy by the patron. In order that the top 3 of r the stand 1 may be readily and easily attained by the customer, a suitable "step 4:

is provided end edges ofsai'd step being slidingly received" within a pair I of guide channels 5 carried by the side walls of the v stand. It will be apparent that when the slidinto the stand. i

In the form 'of the invention shown, in

the safe mounting of a cus- 192s; Serial No. 121,379;v

standis not in use and it is desiredto secure more floor space,.the steps may be I MAX-SHEAR, or KANsAsoITxMIsso nr.

quickly v Figures 1, 2 and 3 two pairs .ofgui'des 6 are secured to the top ofvthestand underneath the chair. and form tracks 'or retaininggu-ides for, the sliding receptionof the crossheads of inverted T- iron slides 7"of. such length as to project 'slight'lybeyond the frontend of the stand when in operative? position. order to preventthe-accidental withdrawal of the slides 7 from-the guides 6,-'ea'ch o'f sa'idslides is formed. witha stud "P at .its *rear end which abuts.against theendsof the lguides as illustrated ingFiglures :1 and 3.: Thestem or main leg of the T-shaped slides are provided with longitudinal slots 8 a cent their front ends.

Gated arms "9' of suitable foot 'supportsf10. To retain said foot supports 10 in any desired ,positionvof adjustment. the rear ends of the "arms are provided withiclamp bolts The front ends-of the maln' leg or'stem of the slides are receivedbetweenIthe-bifur- 11 passing through the SlOE-S81-i11-the-Slides 7 whereby the foot supports may :be clamped the desired positionn'oif extension to ac- 85 .commodate-the patron.:-

1.. foot supports are I formed along their top and bottom edges "with registering undercut bayonet notches- The arms 9 of the- 12, the lower'notches12 being adapted'to engage a cross pin 13, earried'by the slides to assist the clamp boltsll-in'retaining the foot supports in any'predetermined position.

When it is desired to move the foot rest to inoperative position, it will beevident that the operator will loosen the clamp bolt.

11 andth'en will simultaneously 'move the, footsupport 10 rearwardly and upwardly to disengage the notch 12 from the pin 13, v V i and thenfwillslideithe foot support rears wardly along the slot'8 until the bolt 11 0011-" tacts with the rear end of the slot.. .Con

tinued inward movement will completely rei move the foot rest to its inoperative position beneath the chair as, shown" in dotted lines (Figure 1) by eflecting the rearward sliding movement of slides 7. Ituwill be apparent that a reversal of the above opera V 'tions are efiected to withdraw the foot sup- I ports to their operative positions.

The construction'of the modified form of foot rest shown in Figures 4: to- 9 inclusive is the same in all respects to that" above:

described. Themethod of assembly and operation, however, is slightly different, as follows :The guides 6 are secured to the underside of vthe top of the cabinet, and the slides 7- are engaged with the slots in upright position as shown in the drawings. In this construction the pin 13 engages the upper bayonet notches 12 and not only assist the clamp bolts 11 in'preventing longitudinal movement of the footrests, but also support the rests against their natural gravitative tendency to move downwardly. In thisconstruction, when it is desired to move thefoot rest to inoperative position, the clamp bolt ll'is loosened as above described, and then the foot 'rest is 'simultaneouslv moved Zthe notch; 12 fromth-e pin 13. The footi rearwardly and downwardly to disengage -rests theirslide rearwardly as described and are permitted to rest on top of the step 4 inzth'ei-r inoperative position as shown clearly in Figure 4: in dottedlines;

' v Figure 10 illustrates a slightly modified form of guide consisting of a flat plate 14 .to rest against the surface of the stand, and

on which a pair of side flanges 15, similar -.tothe guides 6 arefo'rmed', for the reception fl cross-head of the T-shaped slides'7.

From the above description,'it will be ap- .claimed the preferredfembodiment. of the invention, it is to be understood that I reserveithe right to make all changes properly falling'withingthe spirit and scope of the appended claims; I

- I claim 11.1In a'shoe shining stand, a chair sup j porting platform, a-guide secured to the parentfthatwhi-le I have described and platform, a slide structure comprising telescopically extensible sections mounted for longitudinal movement within the guide and gitudinal movement within the guide and transversely, of the stand,.a stop for preventing undue forward movement of theslide member, a foot support arm havingsliding engagement with the'front end of the slide member, means for securingsaid support arm to said slide in various adjusted posiarm.

In a shoe Shining stand, a chair supporting platform, a guide secured-to the platform, a slide mounted for longitudinal ofthe stand, a'stop forpreventing undue forward movement of the slide, a foot sup port arm formed jwlth a :notch 1n 1ts edge and having sliding engagement with the front end of the slide, a clamp for securing position, a pin carried by said slide forengagement with said arm notch to cooperate with theclamp in securing thearm'in' p'r'esaid support arm to said slide in adjusted determinedposition, and a foot support car- 7 ried by said arm.
